Council of the EU adopts Recommendation on approach to micro-credentials
|
|
EU Member States have agreed on a common approach to design and use micro-credentials – the record of learning outcomes a learner has acquired from a small volume of learning. The Council of the European Union adopted a Recommendation on a European approach to micro-credentials for lifelong learning and employability on 16 June 2022. The Recommendation aims to enable people to acquire the knowledge, skills and competences they need for the changing labour market. It allows for establishing a common European approach, common definition, standards and key principles for the design and use of micro-credentials. Click ‘Main URL’ to know more.

How Vocational Education and Training is central to the green transition
|
|
The Directors General for Vocational Education and Training (DGVT) met in France on 16 – and 17 May to discuss the role of VET in the green transition, inclusive mobility and cooperation and internationalisation. The meeting brought together representatives from 23 countries, candidate countries, Norway, social partners, the European Commission and other European bodies. During the meeting, CEDEFOP (the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training) highlighted its European green deal skills forecast published in late 2021. The forecast shows employment effects in sectors like extraction industries, construction and waste management and highlights the importance of upskilling, re-skilling and career guidance to help individuals make appropriate transitions in the labour market by changing occupation, sector or geographic location.

|
|
The European Commission has launched the new ALMA (Aim, Learn, Master, Achieve) initiative with the aim to support young people who are not in employment, education or training with entering the labour market.

ALMA will be implemented under the European Social Fund+, complementing other mobility programmes for young people. Click ‘Main URL’ to know more about ALMA.
